Creamy Portobello Mushroom Soup with Soy Sauce Lemon Garlic and Chicken

This comforting soup is not only packed with flavor but also provides a good balance of nutrients, perfect for athletes or anyone needing a good meal!

Ingredients:

• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 cups frozen chicken (diced or shredded)
• 2 cups pre-cooked portobello mushrooms, sliced
• 2 golden potatoes, diced
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Olive oil, for sautéing

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

2. Cook the Chicken: Add the frozen chicken to the pot and sauté with the onions and garlic until the chicken is no longer frozen and starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the diced golden potatoes and sliced portobello mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

4. Pour in the Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

5. Season the Soup: Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy while warm! You can add a sprinkle of green onions or fresh herbs on top for an extra touch.
